Why don’t I get anything done when I work from home?

As I sit here emailing a new real estate listing to my favorite client, and trying to finish an appraisal report, my mind starts to wander into the many reasons why I’m not as productive working from home. So I decide to write down my top 10.

1. I cannot see the top of my desk because of all the junk mail, statements, children’s school notes, and the occasional dog on the desk.

2. Coffee breaks come every 15 minutes.

3. Dogs want to go out every hour.

4. The dishes in the sink are calling me…loudly (one just jumped to their death off the counter as the dog was licking it).

5. All the extra snack breaks.

6. The daydreaming that comes from being overwhelmed by the paperwork on my desk.

7. Once I wake up from the daydreaming I consider moving the wash into to the dryer.

8. Still considering it.

9. The inevitable delaying of the shower. Then worrying I’ll have to go out on a moments notice.

Aside

Notice all the listings FOR SALE….then notice the downward trend of listings over the last few years. Then notice the pending listings(listings that are under contract), and lastly the sold column.

Conclusion: Inventory has been decreasing, listings under contract going up, and then the sales, year over year comparison, have also been going up. Lower inventory and more activity make for a good market!
